PAUL Yeah, but we’re now 2012, as I say. I mean, do you think David Shearer’s got to really reshuffle that front bench? I mean, you can’t honestly look at that front bench and think they’re performing well as an Opposition.

MR TAMIHERE That’s true, but he’s also got to look to 2014 for the list.

PAUL It’s critical, because this week – you take this week. Bad week for the government. Should have been. More Dotcom coming left, right and centre at the Prime Minister.

MR TAMIHERE You’ve got me. There’s no doubt—

PAUL Wilkinson’s reversal on Mike Tyson.

MR TAMIHERE Front bench is not firing.

PAUL No.

MR TAMIHERE Across the whole line, whether it’s health, welfare or education, and those are the biggies. …

There is not a snowballs chance in hell of JT being selected. Be funny if he did as you can imagine years and years of his public statements coming back to bite him in the arse.
We had to turn his show off at work with his angry ranting and raving after he lost the very lucrative social welfare contract for early start, have a quick squizz at early start providers on the charities website and see how much surplus cash they generate. One of them has managed to accumulate over950k in a savings account, Paula Bennets department should be hung out to dry with this taxpayers largesse.

If he stood – hed walk in.
Lets face it (Im assuming hed be standing for labour) labour are a bunch of loosers at the moment. I dont think hes planning to stand to be an MP, hes planning to stand to be PM, or at least leader of the labour party.
I think many of the public are starting to get pissed off with those who have a go about ‘front bums’ – the front bums need kicking out and they need someone in there with ‘balls”…

Well said Kevin. People like this “toad” character are fucking pathetic. If you change your vote from anyone but a white male, you’re a bigot of some kind. Which makes him the biggest self-loathing bigot there is, and just the sort of scum that is killing the west.

I channeled RB there I think. Don’t agree with everything he says, or his method of engagement, but whoever he is, he is one of the smartest commenters in the blogosphere.

A toad telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told, “You are going to
meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about
you.”
The toad says, “This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?”
“No,” says the psychic. “Next semester in her biology class.”

Government is now over 50% of GDP and we’re at the bottom of the OECD. 50 years ago government wes about 25%,of GDP and we we’re number 3.

In all the decades of rabid socialism, wealth redistribution through benefits for everything not one single economic or social indicator has improved but newt still supports more government and more wealth redistribution.

BTW, just so readers understand my references, the Pol Pot regime had a policy of re-education, whereby workers were forced to attend classes where they were indoctrinated with communist political theory.

Anyone who resisted these re-education programs, and kept their own minds, were only tolerated for a short time. If any of the “teachers” reported anyone as not responding to the “re-education” methods, they were designated as enemies of the regime and taken out into the killing fields and executed initially by a bullet to the head, and then as the economy collapsed and bullets became unaffordable, by suffocation with reusable plastic bags.

Such is the political heritage of the left, and its only one reason why they’re against the teaching of history in schools.

Yes he is saying that, at the same time as he scolds us for being what he perceives as “misogynist”.

There is no bottom to the depth of the moral sickness of these leftist would be tyrants.

Why everyone must pay at least some tax- If any part of society pays no tax, then there is no cost to that part of society in asking for more and more services from the state, or those who do pay tax.

The non-taxpayers have no skin in the game, and are not therefore hurt by rising taxes. They will therefore vote again and again for politicians cynical and power hungry enough to promise them more and more from the public purse, and there is no shortage of these kind on the left of the political spectrum.

Why do leftys threaten violence if their demands are not meet? Happens time and again if you don’t give Maori this and that they will revolt, if you don’t give the poor this and that they will revolt. The only revolting thing is the fucken greedy lefty’s them self s

Toad no doubt is sipping on his chardonnay, discussing with other “elite” socialists just how great they are for supporting the “great unwashed” (his quote). Do you pay voluntary tax Toad? If not, I assume you have no problem with your house being bombed?

I made the mistake of rading McCarten’s herald column today, and took some heart from the comments. He got torn apart for his errors, which is good to see in such a socialist rag. Deliciously ironic that a tax cheat continually calls for higher taxes.

Toad is suing pity you use a pseudonym is it not retard there is no person named toad !!!
Why don’t you fuck of to lefty land if you don’t like being told that defacing others property is not a good piece of political work.
It is true that members of the greens done that. You are the voice of the greens when you post on here retard so if the truth hurts wear it.
Hows the students paid to collect signatures rip off going ?

You would sue me for commenting on the admitted activities of your party? Do you have much of an understanding of law? You would actually stand in a court and claim to be defamed by someone who knows you only as toad?

It’s almost tempting to go back through your comments to see whether you live by these standards.

So why don’t you pay voluntary tax if your assessed tax is not enough in your mind?

I also find it interesting that you use the term “wealthy prick”. So anyone who is wealthy is a prick. How dare they work so hard, contribute more in tax in a week than you pay in a year, create jobs etc etc.

Not a snowball’s hope in Hell, John.
The rainbows alone plus the feministas will not have bar of you.
You insulted the precious ones and will not be rehabilitated.
Try Winston though – he is corrupt also in another sort of way.
He could do with your help – crikey look at the others in his party.
But can you piss,when pissed, on trees – that’s the initiation.
